Those who heard of it all feared that \[Fan\] Tai would suffer unforeseen disaster, and \[Fan\] Tai also worried that calamity would reach him; he thus asked \[Hui\]yi for the art of staying safe. \[Hui\]yi said: 'If loyalty and compliance are not lost in serving one's superior, superior and inferior can remain affectionate toward each other; what worry is there to be concerned about?' He then urged \[Fan\] Tai to donate his sixty-mu bamboo orchard to the temple as a blessing in the unseen world. \[Fan\] Tai followed his advice and ultimately enjoyed good fortune. When \[Fan\] Tai died, his third son, \[Fan\] Yan, claimed that \[Hui\]yi had previously taken advantage of his father's peril to persuade him to give up the orchard land; nursing this as a grievance, he seized it back and would not give it over. \[Hui\]yi held onto \[Fan\] Tai's testamentary letter, and a tangled dispute arose, becoming manifest to public sight and hearing. \[Hui\]yi then moved to Wuyi, living together with Huirui. In the twenty-first year of the Yuanjia era of the Song, he died at Wuyi Temple, at the age of seventy-three. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.7.26) - [Next: 7.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.7.28) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059~en-mt.7.27) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.7.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.7.27) · Pramāṇa
